I don't know if this is the correct category to post this in - if not, moderator please direct me to the right one.
Very disturbing. I was at my sister's house and got on to the computer and tried to get on to post about some Oscar nonsense that was going on on the TV regarding Sean Penn. Typed in Free Republic and a window came up from Computer Associates that listed Free Republic as a "hate" site. I guess my sister has a CA program on her machine. Even my sister was perplexed at that designation! I have been on FR since before 2001 and I have never found it hateful like say a Stromfront or DU.
We live in sad times.
You should have seen if DU was also listed!
Did they list Kos and HuffPo as hate sites too?
Dump CA.
Get ESET’s NOD32 Antivirus and Antispyware System.
It has a super small ‘footprint’ (doesn’t slowdown your PC) and it has a GREAT record of stopping new malware.
I’m a computer consultant and this is what goes on all of my customer’s machines.
I use it on all of my own machines, as well.
Malware Bytes is good if you already have an infection.
My two cents.
Tells you all you need to know about CA.
Apparently you’re not a homosexual, moslem, atheist, liberal politican.
Well...I now hate Computer Associates.
self ping and thanks to Boucheau...to look into tomorrow
Who knew!
Change the setting, or turn it off. No big deal.
Most of these parental control programs are just keyword triggers, and there's plenty of opportunity for some of the comments on FR to trigger that. It doesn't have to be a conspiracy doing it...
> Dump CA.
I’m not sure that was the point of his post: it seems to me that somebody has gone to all the bother to advise CA that the FRee Republic is a “hate site” and that CA has distributed that falsehood to a large number of their clients — which is a bigger issue than the one that “dumping CA” can fix. FRee Republic has been wrongfully blacklisted.
Else I’m wrong, I think that was his point.
Cheers
*DieHard*
Is Computer Associates still around?
I LOVE this “hate” site.
I thought CA went bankrupt years ago?
Well then! Shall we make it official?
I HATE YOUSE GUYS!
:)
It’s only a hate site to people who hate conservatism. I’ve seen far more vile commentary on Daily Kos, left standing on a regular basis, than I’ve ever seen on FR, and what little there is, is pulled almost immediately.
“I’m not sure that was the point...”
I know, force of habit.
I do this all day long.
You see someone using a tool that is not nearly as good as a tool you know about and it’s an instant reaction.
I apologize if I have offended anyone.
;)
Apparently, you are not the only one.
It blocks Air America, so it can't be THAT bad.
They list all the groups against illegal aliens as hate sites too down at the aclu.

They have been disproven many times but with the Looney Left Elite that doesn’t matter.
If you don’t practice free and indiscriminate love in the streets you are an evil hater!
